California Elopement Photography

California is a truly magical place and you are deserving of the most memorable, truly dreamy, and intimate wedding day. Picture a day that reflects the most genuine part of your relationship, focusing on your unique adventure together. A day spent on an actual adventure, being your most authentic selves, in an intimate and serene setting far away from the crowds of people or the expectations of what your wedding day should be. The possibilities are endless; an elopement under the Sequoias at Sequoia National Park, the vast desert landscape of Joshua Tree National Park, or atop one of the many mountains that line the state (Mount Shasta, anyone?). That day is completely possible! As intimate wedding and adventure elopement photographers we help make the dream become a reality for couples every single day.

A California adventure elopement or intimate wedding can provide you with the roadmap to a perfect day spent devoted to you and your partner.

Why Elope In California?

Many of our couples find that California offers a wide variety of desirable locations to either shoot near or honeymoon at after their elopement. Places like Santa Barbara, San Diego, Palm Springs, Yosemite, and Big Sur all offer fantastic locations for an elopement AND adventuring as newlyweds.

"Having a “traditional” wedding was our attempt to please lots of other people... Eloping allowed us to make the day truly just about us and what we both hold most dear."

-Audrey + Kate

"We want to enjoy each other's company without the stress of a showy wedding... We would like to share some time together doing what we enjoy most, going on an adventure."

-Karina + Gabriel
